Germaine Leece

Stories have long shaped Germaine Leece’s life. In 2012, moving from a career in publishing and writing, she began studying to become a psychotherapist. Sitting with people as they told their stories felt as natural as delving into the pages of a book, and bibliotherapy soon emerged as the natural marriage of both careers. Long letters to fellow bibliotherapist, Sonya Tsakalakis, led to a friendship built on the foundation of a shared love of reading; these letters resulted in the publication of their first book, Reading the Seasons: Books Holding Life and Friendship Together.
